The Sewer System is a field map in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It is explored first by a party of Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough, and Tifa Lockhart, and later by a party of Cloud, Tifa, and Barret Wallace.
The field is visited first in chapter 10, "Rough Waters", as Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith fall in following the interrogation of Don Corneo. During this time, the three fight through the sewers to reach the Sector 7 Slums. In chapter 14, "In Search of Hope", Cloud, Tifa, and Barret return to search for Don Corneo.
Layout[]
The sewers are divided into two portions: the Sector 6 Sewers and the Sector 7 Sewers.
During the chapter 10 visit, most of the sewers are completely intact, but in chapter 14, several parts are damaged and blocked off.
Sector 6 Sewers[]
Aqueduct 1[]
Aqueduct 1.
This contains the battle arena where Abzu is fought, followed by a series of tunnels that lead further in, to a canal system. In the southeast end, a chest contains an ether bottle. Further along its path, above a ledge, a treasure chest above a first set of stairs contains 2 hi-potions. A ledge at the end is reached by a staircase in chapter 10, but this is destroyed in chapter 14, and rubble is climbed over instead. In chapter 10, sahagins are fought on the way here.
At the canal, a sluice control must be operated to lower the water. Below it, a treasure chest below the canal contains a potion. At the end is a room with a vending machine and bench, along with a ladder to Aqueduct 2. In chapter 10, this is reached by a staircase. In chapter 14, the staircase is blocked off by rubble and a long way around using a ladder from the canal must be used, after fighting a sahagin in the canal.
Moogle Medal farming spot in Chapter 10.
Moogle Medals have a small drop rate from any breakable boxes through the game. It is possible to quickly farm them by saving and reloading at areas with lots of boxes; by reloading the save file, the boxes will respawn. One of the best spots is at Chapter 10, "Rough Waters", in a small area at the "Aqueduct 1" of the sewers, at a dead end that has 14 boxes stacked together.
Aqueduct 2[]
Comprises a series of tunnels with wide, open areas containing enemies. In chapter 10, these are wererats and scissorclaws, and in chapter 14, blugu and sahagin are also fought.
In the northeast area, a door is locked, and is only used in chapter 14; it leads to the Sector 6 Restricted Area - Aqueduct 3. In chapter 10, the path further into the sewers to the Settling Basin Corridor is located northwest through a door and up a ladder to the next area.
Settling Basin Corridor[]
Settling Basin Corridor.
This area contains two parallel paths either side, both initially dark until lights turned on using a power room at the back. At the north end, the path leads to the Sector 7-6 Main Aqueduct.
In chapter 10, the path on the right has scissorclaws when the lights are turned on, and in the top-left of the room is a sluice control lever to drain the canal, where a key is found. The path left on the bottom-left end has a lever to activate its own canal switch, allowing a chest down below to be reached, containing 800 gil.
In chapter 14, blugu and wererats are fought on the path on the right, and the left path, the power room, as well as the south exit, are blocked.
Sector 7-6 Main Aqueduct[]
Trunk Line.
Named the "Trunk Line" on-screen, the Sector 7-6 Main Aqueduct is spread across three levels, where the first level is still listed under "Sector 6 Sewers" on the map, the second level is known as "Trunk Line - Control Section", and below that is the "Trunk Line - Primary Treatment". The Sector 7-6 Main Aqueduct is a huge trunk line across, forming the dividing line between Sector 6 and Sector 7.
In chapter 10, walkways and gates form paths across the canal either side. Blugu, wererats, and sahagins are fought across the bridges and in the canals. Once again, sluice controls are used to create paths in the lower areas. At the northwest is a path to Sector 7 Sewers' Aqueduct 3.
In chapter 14, the walkways to the Sector 7 Sewers are blocked, but a path southeast is opened by Leslie and leads to Sector 6 Restricted Area - Aqueduct 4. Scissorclaws are fought on this path.
Sector 6 Restricted Area[]
The Sector 6 Restricted Area is visited only during chapter 14, and comprises a few areas locked by Corneo. Its central area is the Settling Basin 2, around which its aqueducts are located. In the northwest, a brief Sector 7-6 Trunk Link area is located, connected to the Sector 7-6 Main Aqueduct.
Aqueduct 3[]
Accessed from Sector 6 Sewers - Aqueduct 2, this area is a brief path over a few canals followed by a path northwest through an empty canal. At the end of a canal is a ladder down to the path aqueduct in the Settling Basin Corridor. Scissorclaws and blugu are fought in the northwest canal, and before the tunnel, a chest contains a bottle of ether.
Aqueduct 4[]
Connected by a brick corridor from the Sector 7-6 Trunk Link to a concrete room with a bench and vending machine, with the disc 
The Chase. After this is a vast canal around Settling Basin 2, and in the middle is the Settling Basin 2 room. On the east end is a chest with two hazardous material cannisters, and at the south end is a ladder to Sector 6 - Old Aqueduct - Old Aqueduct 1.

Inter-Aqueduct Passageway[]
Contains only a storage room, followed by a long tunnel to Primary Treatment.
